In prodding the Academy to consider Laura Dern’s Inland Empire performance for an Oscar, David Lynch parked himself at the corner of La Brea and Hollywood Boulevard alongside what animal?
Correct
David Lynch: “You know, there are a bunch of Academy members and all sorts of other awards activity going on out there. And people solve problems with money normally; well, I don’t have any money. And I also feel that the Academy members must be sick of seeing ad after ad after ad costing a fortune with no one really paying attention. Honestly, I’m out there with the cow, and meeting the greatest bunch of people. The other day, we had my friend Marek Zebrowski out there playing piano. It was so beautiful, such a great day, out with Georgia the cow, beautiful piano music, meeting so many great people.”
